Apostle Gideon Odoma has weighed in on an ongoing theological conversation, stating, “Damina is a newcomer. I have been preaching this message since 1998.”
Speaking during a recent sermon, Apostle Odoma said he has consistently taught the same biblical message for decades, long before it gained wider public attention. His remarks came while discussing doctrinal teachings that have recently generated debate among Christian leaders and online audiences.
The statement has sparked reactions across the Christian community. Some supporters viewed it as a clarification of his long standing ministry emphasis, while others noted that the focus should remain on the biblical basis of any teaching rather than on who first popularised it.
The comments have also renewed discussions about doctrine, biblical interpretation, and the importance of engaging theological differences with humility, Scripture, and mutual respect. Many believers have encouraged careful examination of biblical teachings while avoiding unnecessary personal attacks or divisions within the Church.
As conversations continue, Apostle Odoma’s remarks have highlighted the significance of faithfulness to one’s convictions and the ongoing need for thoughtful, Scripture centred dialogue on matters of Christian doctrine.
